Tarun, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Positives: Economical, clean, safe, convenient location, friendly staff, shared restrooms are clean and modern, small locker in room to store valuables (must provide own lock). Negatives: Bunk beds are claustrophobic and difficult to access (especially upper bunk), no chair or table in room, very few hooks to hang clothes, no elevator (difficult to carry luggage upstairs to upper floors).

Highly recommend!!

Best place to stay in Manhattan for a budget traveler, close to two subway stations and next to Central Park. Fast connections to the rest of New York tourist attractions.
Krzysztof, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

You'll get pretty much what you expect

The place is conveniently located, and the service in the cafe is friendly in the morning. The showers and bathrooms were quite clean for a hostel and in general people were super kind and accommodating. I had a few strange encounters with staff and some good ones. The floor of my shared room was pretty dirty, and I arrived the same day as the other person in my dorm so it didn't seem like it was clean prior to our arrival. however, the common spaces were fine.
Niyyah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Literally the best place to spend the night. The staff is so welcoming, and super friendly. This is my third time staying at Kama and it’s the best decision every single time. The bathrooms are always clean, very affordable and comfortable. Love Kama!

10/10 Exceptional

Great for a single night stay! Easy check in; easier checkout. Very walkable!
Dominic, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Affordable and convenient option, they were doing some kind of construction so it was a little loud after 8am but otherwise other guests were very quiet at night. Pod beds were comfortable and it was nice to have the added privacy. I enjoyed that there was a coffee shop on the property.

For a hostel, it was pretty decent. Cleaner than most hotels I've stayed in for much higher prices.
